Clutch.

I picked up this cute little clutch from Opportunity for Animals last Saturday. I don’t normally buy clutches as I am so clumsy that I would probably just put it down and lose it, but I really loved the look of this one and couldn’t leave it behind especially as it was only $4.00. Luckily for me this one came with hooks so I could attach a strap.

What originally drew me to this bag was the texture of it. The entire bag is covered in sequin-like tiles made of metal. They have been finished in a gloss so that they catch the light, which I think looks really lovely. It has gold trim around the edging, also in metal. The fact that the bag is predominantly metal is nice because I don’t have anything similar in my wardrobe. Another point that I love about this bag is that I can dress it up or down, unlike some of my other leather bags which are strictly day time as they are all worn and battered.

I have seen a few bags similar to this one over the years but they have always been in black, but now that I have seen a white one, black really doesn’t do the bag justice, you can hardly see the beautiful detailing. Another thing that I also want to quickly point out is how good the quality of this bag is. I am guessing it is relatively old, yet it’s all still intact and not missing a single tile.

I really love the size of this bag, its perfect to just chuck my wallet, phone and some other bits and pieces in without becoming too chunky. I am also fond of the zip compartment, functionality as well as style is always important. I can’t wait till I get a chance to wear this out!

Such a cute clutch, you'd look great wearing it with a black dress. The possibilities of wear for this clutch are infinite. Now, a question? I know I'm totally ignorant, but what in God's name is op-shop? Like I told ya, ignorant speaking (writing, more so).
